In which discussion ranges from the TIFF Midnight Madness and Vanguard announcements, to the super-overloaded Hollywood slate for 2015, to 3-D and the lack of proper conversation about it, to (once again) the end of movies as we know it, to whether or not we should just do this show on Vine. Mamo!
Comic Con is behind us and so are the big guns of the summer of 2013. What does the Batman/Superman announcement say about the health of Warner Brothers and their DC comics franchise? Nothing good, says we...
Wonder twin powers, ACTIVATE! It’s been demanded for hours and now it’s finally here: a collaboration between the Mamo Matts and The Cinecast featuring Matt “the pot shot” Gamble of Where the Long Tail Ends. Three quarters of the way through summer blockbuster season, culminating in a Guillermo del Toro monster mash ‘em up seemed like an appropriate time to get this party started. Besides Pacific Rim, we naturally evolve into talking about the concept of the Super Ticket, racism at the box office, will Hollywood finally fuck off, Spider-Man 4(!?) and the secession of Texas joining forces with Quebec to start a new world order. This is an historic moment; enjoy it!
The summer of 2013 has revealed what will doubtless be recorded as its all-time mega-bomb: Disney's The Lone Ranger, which might be the nail in the coffin of the Western, 2-D, and Johnny Depp himself. Special guest star Ryan McNeil joins us for a gab session about what went wrong and why.
Mamo returns to audio podcasting to look at what James Gandolfini did for the evolution of television - and by extension, perhaps, the evolution of everything we (and Steven Spielberg and George Lucas) have been talking about.
Sometimes, you just gotta call for a do-over. Unsatisfied with our first Man of Steel show, we return 2 days later to discuss 'roid rage cinema, Christ allegories, and the future of the DCU. You know, like we do. We believe in Superman.
The Men of Mamo bring their steel to the party and tackle the Zack Snyder / Christopher Nolan / DC Comics / Warner Brothers megalith, Man of Steel, upon which all hopes for the future of everything have, perhaps capriciously, been pinned. You will believe two men can gab.
We start with surprise box-office success The Purge, and then catch a wild ride through the many Mamo mental matchups that lead one from the sublime to the ridiculous when considering the state of literally everything.
Critics reacted to M. Night Shyamalan and Will Smith's After Earth and fans reacted right back, in the only way they know how: erratically. With more layoffs at "real" publications, and Twitter telling us what we already think anyway, is proper film criticism dead?
VROOOOOOOM...!! Mamo takes a quick road trip to the U.S. of A. for barbecued meat and Vin Diesel, which are largely indistinguishable from one another. On the drive home we take a moment to survey the state of the nation of the most unlikely super-franchise in Hollywood. Who's feeling fast? Who's feeling furious?
The first prequel-sequel in the Star Trek reborquel lands with a wet thud and Team Mamo assembles to discuss what went wrong with Star Trek Into Darkness...
Matthew Price sits down with Justin Szlasa, producer of the new documentary Side By Side, to discuss the generational transition from celluloid to digital cinematography, and all the things it means. Meanwhile, Matt Brown eats popcorn.
That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far - but how far can you push the comic book movie in the post-Avengers world? Team Mamo spoils the holy crap out of Iron Man 3 under the scorching heat of Ben Kingsley's sunglassed stare...
Mamo returns! We look at the changing face of China in light of Iron Man 3, the sci-fi might of Tom Cruise and Oblivion, before diving into the whole Zach Braff Kickstarter fracas. There's some larger point to be made here about how and where movies make money, we're sure.
Mamo rounds third base with a potpourri discussion of Star Trek Into Darkness and Man of Steel (and their respective final trailers), Iron Man 3 (and its leading man), 42 (and the current state of sports movies), and the hows and whys of becoming a man. Summer ho! If you haven't entered the box office contest yet, do so at Row Three.
